Sorry I haven't done a posting in a while. OK, make that a long while. I've been busy visiting zoos and seeing wildlife. I'll tell you about it soon.

You know the Bali Mynah, one of the rarest birds on earth? Well, one was eaten by a wild snake at the Riverbanks Zoo one time. I was looking at animal x-rays during a zoo tour, and it said that a wild snake ate a Bali Mynah. Wow. This was simply shocking to me. But Riverbanks has done a lot to help conservation efforts of the Bali Mynah.Another conservation effort at Riverbanks is for the black-footed cat. A black-footed kitten was born in March. It's native to South Africa, and it is the smallest cat species in the wild.Riverbanks is helping endangered animals. I'll do postings more regularly this Summer. Thanks for visiting. Bye.

What is Mossy's World of Animals?

Welcome people of the world! Bienvenue! ¡Recepción! Boa vinda! مرحبا! 歓迎 Willkommen! My name is Moss and I'm a sixth grader in South Carolina. This is my blog dedicated to educating people about animals...extinct animals, endangered animals, threatened animals, vulnerable animals, and animals right in your own backyard.

It's important so that people can be more careful, because it's up to us to take care of nature and habitats and all living creatures.

A few years ago I was amazed to learn about all the extinct animals I'd never get to see, and shocked to realize all the endangered animals people of the future may never get to see.

I want people to learn about animals, and do something to help. I'll try to provide interesting information, ideas on how you can help the environment, and other cool stuff about my favorite animals.Save the koala!
